Good Morning, Las Vegas: EDC traffic causing early morning slowdowns, overnight winds bring Monday cooldown

KTNV — Good Morning, Las Vegas, and Happy Monday.

While the winds might not be as strong as when you went to bed last night, those gusts are sticking around in parts of the valley this morning.

But before we dive into the weather, we want to make sure you know about the traffic coming out of the northeast corner of the valley as partygoers wrap up EDC weekend. Justin Bruce will break down what the traffic looks like this morning as you get ready to head out the door.

We also want to let you know that members of our team will be in downtown Las Vegas this morning, following two court cases and the men who are facing murder charges from them.

Two murder suspects are due in court today for separate deadly shootings.

Alejandro Estrada is accused of killing a husband and wife inside a Smith's grocery store in the south valley. Police say he targeted his ex-girlfriend and her new husband over child support concerns.

In a separate case, Devion Teague will also face a judge today. He is accused of shooting and killing an elderly woman during a morning walk in the southwest valley.

Police say Teague demanded the woman's belongings before opening fire.
